The use Of Tobacco.


The Toronto mail says: The guam
tity OF smc k:ng ard chewing tobacco
consumed annually in the United
States averages three and alfpounds
per head for every adult. The number
of cigars upon which tax was paid
during the year ending June 2, 1886,
was 3.51o,So8,5SS. which is equal to
hfty-eight and one-half cigars to every
person in the country, placing the
populat on at 80, ooo, 900. These u5trs,
statistician has calculated, would
reach around the earth nine times if
extended in single line. The cigar
cites upon which tag was paid IN the
same time numbered I,3I9,991,35o.
The duty ON imported cigars and to-
bacco for the year added to the tax
raised on the domestic article amounted
to s36,a18,476. The appraised value
ofall coffee imported during the same
year was S42,675,6oo; that of tea
SI5,77o,S27. These figures seem to
indicate that tobacco has become
almost as great necessity to the peo-
pie as tea and coffee.

How beautifully the Richmond
AdDoeate says: "Lingering in ret
Prospect with bewai1iRg regret unneryes
and makes faccid the purpose of life.
Neglected opportunities cannot be
recalIed. Deploring failures is idle,
useless and hurtful. Progress is mark
ed by mile-stones ofmistakes. Nations
advance along the path of crude and
clumsy blunders. Mankind are taught
in the school of disappointment. The
individual is put to apprenticeship on a
deck familiar to tempests. Seaman
ship is learned on unfriendly seas and
amid fierce winds. There is pith in
the proverb that names fresh wisdom
ga new wrinkle" Enduring knowl-
edge of life comes with a force that
cuts groove in memory. There is
no victory without wounds. The
backward look ought to beget no
unmanly repinings. The glance aver
the shoulder should bring courage fer
the march and contest ahead"

Denman Thompson, the well-known
humorous actor, performed in Phila-
delphia Monday evening last under
most trying circumstances. He had
been greatly worried over the news of
the illness of his much beloved little
three-year-old grand daughter in New
York City, but a telegram in the af-
ternoon brought tidings of her I'M
provement. After the curtain was
about to rise, however, a later message
announcing the childs death was
handed him and almost Frustrated him
with grief Speaking of it, with tears
in his eyes, Mr.. Thompson said 4:
"The curtain was rising, the audience
waiting, and with a heart heavy with
grief hid my sorrow, acted my part,
and the audience never knew what
that nights work cost me. There are
times when an actor has to act in
more senses than one. His audience
must be satisfied. His sorrows are his
own, not theirs. A good actor can
dissimulate under any circumstances.
| got my first lesson years ago, when
my boy lay dead at home and !
was feigning hilarity on the stage.

Our road law does not bear equally
upon all of our citizens and is unfair.
For although man may be worth
$4,000 and own 5000 acres of land
and two dozen wagons and carts, and
hauls over the public roads ten thous-
and dollars worth of produce year,
he is road free and does not contribute
one cent towards repairing the roads
which his own hauling has ruined.
Not only this, he will charge his poor
laborers fifty cents day when the law
forces them on the roads for his benefit.
There is no justice in this and the
Democratic party owes it to itself to
make change.-Warrenton Gazette.
